Paul Sexton, London
The Last Shadow Puppets, featuring Alex Turner of Arctic Monkeys and Miles Kane of Liverpool band the Rascals, debuted at No. 1 on the British album chart yesterday (April 27) with "The Age of the Understatement" (Domino). The album's No. 1 start followed a top ten spot last week for the group's U.K. single of the same name.
The Puppets' set is the fifth U.K. No.1 album for the independent Domino label in two and a half years. Domino has previously topped the chart twice with Franz Ferdinand and twice with Arctic Monkeys. The Puppets are the fifth debut act to top the British charts in 2008, according to Official U.K. Charts Company data, following Amy Macdonald, Scouting For Girls, Adele and Duffy. That compares to three at the same stage last year, by the View, Mika and Ray Quinn.
The Last Shadow Puppets recently played introductory shows on both sides of the Atlantic, but with Kane and the Rascals due to release their debut album in June, the Puppets will not tour until October. -
